THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE from
around the world diagnosed as terminal or incurable by modern
medicine travel thousands of miles each month, enduring long
international flights and exhausting bus rides to Abadiania.
A small town in the mountains of central Brazil. They come to
see miracle healer, Joao Teixeira de Faria, the man the people
of Brazil have affectionately titled, "Joao de Deus"
or "John of God".
 Joao is a simple man of humble
beginnings who devotes three days of every week to healing his
fellow man without payment for his services.
As a young boy, Joao experienced
blackout spells. On awakening he learned he had performed miraculous
healings. Religious leaders, the medical field, the police and
those in power threatened by Joaos abilities had him beaten,
thrown in jail then cast out of town. This was a pattern that
went on for years. Even with that, Joao still treated those
who persecuted him when their own incurable illness arose. Joao
frequently states, "it is not me who cures, God is the
healer, I am simply the vessel". Joao is known as an unconscious
medium; he never recalls any of the healings he's performed.
Not everything can be explained
scientifically or rationally as there are over 35 Healing Spirit
Guides including King Solomon and Saint Ignatius that use Joao
as their instrument, completely taking over his body and mind.
Guided by these Spirits, Joao was told to buy a specific piece
of land in Abadiania and build a healing sanctuary on it. Joao
named it the Casa de Dom Inacio, after his Patron and Master
Guide, Saint Ignatius.
Since he began 44 years ago,
Joao has treated and healed millions of people. While incorporated
by the Healing Spirits, Joao will see all who come to him without
stopping to rest. The poor and the famous alike stand in line,
up to thousands a day. They come to witness miracles and hope
to receive one of their own. For example actress Shirley Maclaine
who was told by Western Medicine she would never dance again.
That was until Joao removed a tumor from her stomach.
 Joao is acclaimed to be the most
powerful spiritual medium of our time and the greatest healer
since our beloved Jesus the Christ. From curing cancer, AIDS,
tumors, heart conditions, addictions, helping the lame to walk
and the blind to see, Joao treats every form of illness imaginable.
Many people report powerful outcomes that can be measured; X-rays
before and after for example. The proof is a room at the Casa
filled with thousands of discarded crutches, leg braces and
wheelchairs.
The two kinds of surgeries performed
through Joao are visible and invisible. Visible surgeries are
done with forceps, a scapel or knife. Patients experience minimal
pain, bleeding or anxiety during surgery. There are no tranquilizers,
pain medication or antibiotics used before, during or after
surgery, and no case of infection has ever occurred throughout
Joao's many years of work. Invisible surgery is performed while
meditating in what is known as the Current room at the Casa.
Healing Spirits energetically bring about miraculous corrections
on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Healing
can be immediate, others recover over time, and some may require
additional visits.
Thousands of written testimonies
and personal letters of gratitude fill the Casa office along
with stacks of newspaper articles. Reports from clergymen, scientists
and doctors worldwide support claims of Joao's work. One such
testimony is from a woman from California, USA. She has given
us permission to share her experience.
 After visiting John of
God ("Joao de Deus") in Brazil, I not only feel
I returned with a new body, but also with a radiant joy that
pervades my entire being. I am stunned by this.
I initially greeted the
idea of spending the time, money and energy to visit the Brazilian
medium who was known for his cures with great resistance.
I've visited other psychic surgeons and spiritual healers
before and never experienced any true healing on any level.
So I was highly skeptical, to say the least.
But I was desperate. I
had been suffering from acute fibromyalgia for over a year,
spending thousands of dollars on both medical and alternative
kinds of treatments without success. I was at the point where
I could hardly work to support myself. Some days it was a
tremendous challenge just to get out of bed. My quality of
life had become bleak and hopeless. So this trip to Brazil
was my last resort. My resistance was finally overridden by
a relentless inner voice telling me to just GO.
On my way there I realized
I believed in miracles; that is, miracles for other people
- those with either great faith or great innocence. I was
neither of these kinds of people and was pretty certain a
miracle could never happen for me. But I was on my way and
figured: if nothing else, at least I'll see Brazil.
Well, to my astonishment
I was to experience MANY spiritual healings. In the three
weeks I was there, my fibromyalgia symptoms simply disappeared.
Since my return back home, my other conditions are currently
in the process of healing. Everyday I feel a little bit better.
But more importantly, I
am realizing that many other deeper aspects of my being have
undergone healing. As so many people who go down there discover,
this trip to see Joao is not just about the healing of the
body; that's kind of a side effect. What it's about is the
healing of the soul. It's about opening up spiritual channels,
bringing in an awesome freedom on all levels, from the inside
out. It's about clearing out old, stuck, karmic patterns that
are standing in the way of allowing you to fully express your
gifts and talents and soul's mission. And, perhaps, most of
all - it's about having your heart blown wide open.
 I have never
experienced the Christ Consciousness so intensely, so sweetly,
so powerfully, as on the grounds of the "Casa", where
Joao does his work. The feeling of love, as soon as you enter
the grounds, is so palpable, you can't miss it. It stirs your
soul. The feeling of service and brotherhood and true caring
of the people who work there embrace you, and you immediately
feel the sensation of transformation beginning to take place
within you. Any blocks, resistances, or doubts you may have,
melt away, before you even get a chance to know what hit you.
I think I cried more tears of joy, love and gratitude during
my time there, than ever before in my life.
I've come back after the
spiritual healings feeling years younger in my body and experiencing
a sense of enormous clarity and peaceful emptiness throughout
my entire being. My life has opened up-it feels that anything
is possible. I feel lined up with my "destiny" - whatever
it will be. And I'm ready for it. The healing spirits that
work through Joao are still with me. (It's said they follow
you home.) I feel them guiding my every step. My sense of
gratitude for all of this is so enormous, I'm left swimming
in a vast ocean of Love, every time I think about what has
happened to me.
This kind of experience
does not call to everyone. But for those who are called -
be prepared for miracles, physical and spiritual. Because
they happen and continue to happen over and over. Once you've
connected to the energy at the Casa, your life itself becomes
a miracle. - Vidya Frazier
Joao de Deus and his Casa de
Dom Inacio Healing Sanctuary give us the opportunity to witness
and experience God's love and deepen our connection with him.
A place where our hope turns into faith, and faith into certainty.
For the thousands who travel to Joao each month from around
the world, it is a spritual awakening, a spiritual transformation,
and the beginning of the end to their illness, on many levels.
